Morphy Richards 790005 De-Ioniser Exchange Resin, Water Softener for Irons and Steam Generators

I took some time to choose a replacement when my iron failed me and was genuinely excited to get this one. When it was delivered the Box was battered and tired. Not due to delivery it was dispatched like this showing evidence of it having been previously opens.On opening I found the iron had pretty much been stuffed back in the box with much of the packaging missing and was not secured, so I was not expecting the iron to be in good condition. On reflection I should have take photos.Unwrapping the iron it was evident it had been used maybe as a demo. However I have to say it was in first class condition surprisingly.I had been waiting for the iron so had a pile of laundry to do and used it straight away.The good news is the iron works really well and I was very pleased, it is light and well made and the steam worked well at both eco and full on levels but I found steam should not be used below the cotton setting, I found it dripped a little if I used steam on a low setting.The water reservoir is a great size and very easy to remove to fill. I have not used the calc clean tray yet but it looks to be a good idea to keep the iron clean.

Only used once but really good. Light but effective iron and plenty of steam. Worth the extra for a quicker, smoother ironing chore.

This is my replacement iron, my last one was a Morphy Richards and lasted 16 years, so hopefully this will. I found the steam action good, the cord length for the plug could be a little longer, it is lighter than my last iron and more up to date. I like the thought of the anti scale function. I have only used it the once and all was good, so hopefully it will continue.

Does the job very well. Comfortable to use.

Really pleased with this iron. Nice to have a temperature dial again (I didn’t get on with the optimum temperature irons plus 3 steam options). Also a very easy decalc function. Would recommend

I bought this model this week and it seemed great, just what I wanted to replace my previous Morphy Richards that had given up the ghost.I went to try it and started to iron some jeans. The base unit slipped off the tray on the ironing board. ( I have used this ironing board with tray for years with other models of iron ) and fell onto the floor spilling water all over the place. Without thinking I grabbed it off the floor ( it was still plugged in to socket ) luckily I was not electrocuted as water and electricity are such a great combination. When I turned the base unit over to see why it had slipped off the tray, there are four holes moulded into the base for rubber anti slip pads to fit into. There were no rubber anti slip pads fitted so I contacted Morphy Richards to ask them to send me some to fit in order to make it safe. Their reply was that they do not fit rubber pads in this model. Out of curiosity I went to Curry’s to check other Morphy Richards models and they had rubber pads fitted.In order to increase profits by about 40 pence saving on rubber pads they have made this model dangerous to use as it slides about on whatever you surface you place it on. I will be returning this iron as it is unsafe to use, just to save a few coppers for profit line figures. Well done Morphy Richards.

I have used it for years in my iron since I live in a hard water area. Irons last longer with this product.

I descaled 1st time of using. That was ok but on the iron there was white mark. It said not to wipe it until you use it again. I hope the marks will go.
